In the season of corn sowing and transplanting, the most confusing thing is how to effectively prevent birds and finches from eating corn seedlings and plants, and avoid the "lack of monopoly seedlings" in corn plots, so as to ensure that the basic seedlings per mu can improve the planting yield and quality of corn?
In places with many woods, there are more birds and finches. Corn seedlings that people have sown and raised, and corn seedlings that have been planted and transplanted, have become "hard-hit areas" where there is a shortage of monopoly seedlings. Therefore, "bird damage" is also a natural biological hazard problem that should not be underestimated in the process of corn planting.

In this issue of pictures and texts, Qingjiang Crane will focus on and chat with all of you and teachers about how to prevent and control birds and finches during the period of corn sowing and transplanting, how to prevent and control birds and finches to harm corn seedlings and plants, I hope you like and actively participate in interactive comments, forward and share this issue of pictures and texts.
In the season of corn sowing and seedling raising and planting and transplanting, "bird damage" has become the "hatred" of corn growers:
With the arrival of spring, the earth is gradually waking up, and the corn seeding and transplanting season in the field is also quietly coming.
However, it is not only the hope of a good harvest that follows, but also the harm of those sparrows who are always ready to eat a full meal to the "birds" of corn seedlings, which has become a confusion in people's hearts. Their eating behavior on corn seedlings has undoubtedly brought a lot of challenges to our agricultural production.

However, challenges and opportunities coexist, and this paper will discuss in depth what pesticides and methods can effectively repel sparrows from eating corn seedlings during the maize transplanting season, so as to reduce the damage of birds and finches to maize planting and improve the planting efficiency of maize crops.
The prevention and control of chemical repellent agents is the "most reliable" method for the scientific selection and application of corn seedling "birds" hazards:
Pharmaceutical control is one of the common means to deal with the problem of sparrow ingreck. During the corn seeding and planting and transplanting season, we can choose to use some pesticides that have a repellent effect on sparrows.
Picture 05~06): "Bird damage" in corn plots
For example, certain biological agents and plant extracts, which not only have a natural bird-repellent effect, but are also environmentally friendly, and have no adverse effects on the growth of corn seedlings.
For example, the "bird fear", "bird gram", "bird repellent" and "one avoidance" sold in the agricultural materials market all belong to this kind of "bird repellent" products.
Each bag of 25g of "Bird" can be mixed with 6~8kg of seeds, or 25g of "Bird" can be mixed with 2~3kg of "corn flour" or "rice grains", and sprinkled around the corn seedbed or the corn plot after planting and transplanting, so as to "drive" the birds and finches to feed the corn seeds on the seedlings or rhizomes in the process of growth and development.
You can also use the bird repellent "Fierce Eagle" 30g mixed seeds (or corn flour 3~5kg) sprinkled around the corn plot before the corn seedlings or after planting and transplanting, or you can use the "Fierce Eagle" bird repellent 30g mixed with 30~45 catties of water to clean water, along the ridge direction of corn planting and transplanting, directional spraying of the whole field to treat the soil or directional treatment of the base of the corn plant, which can effectively repel the birds and finches to the corn seedlings and plants, and the effect is very good. But after washing after many rains, the effect will deteriorate.

In addition to the corn sowing when the seed is dressed, the corn is planted and transplanted to the field with the method of stem and leaf treatment to "repel" the birds, people also plant and transplant corn seedlings, choose some agents with the effect of "fumigation", and the corn fertilization is mixed and used together, and the repellent effect of the birds and finches is also very good.
For example, the different content of phosphine granules sold in the agricultural materials market has a good "repellent" effect. In addition, the "phosphine" granules have a very good prevention and treatment "correction" effect on the underground pests of corn seedling stage, such as soil silkworm, needleworm, ground tiger (soil silkworm), grub cricket, etc., on the root system and stems and leaves of corn seedling plants, and it can be said that it is "one stone" in the use of efficacy, and it also effectively reduces the planting cost of corn.
Of course, when using these agents, we need to choose scientifically and use them rationally to avoid damage to the ecological environment.

Physical control, construction of corn seedling plant protective barrier:
In addition to the prevention and control of chemical repellent agents, physical prevention and control of birds and finches harming corn seedlings and plants is also an effective way to repel sparrows from eating and eating.
For example, protective nets can be set around corn plots, or deterrents such as reflective tapes and scarecrows can be hung above corn seedlings, which can effectively prevent sparrows from approaching.
These physical measures are not only simple and easy to implement, but also have low prevention and control costs, which are a very practical and low-cost prevention and control means for the majority of farmers.

Ecological prevention and control, using natural enemies to participate in ecological balance:
Ecological control is an effective strategy for long-term ecological prevention and control of maize seedlings and plants.
We can use the natural enemies of sparrows, such as birds of prey, cats, dogs, etc., to "intimidate" and control the number of sparrows scattered in corn fields. At the same time, by improving the ecological environment of farmland and improving the self-resistance of maize seedlings, the eating behavior of sparrows can also be reduced to a certain extent.
Although this method of preventing and controlling the damage of maize seedlings and plants by "birds" is slow, it has positive significance for maintaining ecological balance and promoting agricultural production in the long run.

The comprehensive prevention and control of "bird pest" must take multiple measures at the same time to improve the control effect of "bird pest" of maize seedlings:
In the practical application of the prevention and control of "bird pests", we often need to combine various means such as "repellent control" of pesticides, physical control and ecological control to form a comprehensive set of "bird pest" prevention and control programs.
By taking multiple measures at the same time, we can more effectively prevent sparrows and other birds from eating corn seedlings, and ensure the normal growth of corn seedlings and harvests after autumn.

Adhere to comprehensive prevention and control measures to build a bumper harvest dream:
The season of direct seeding and planting and transplanting of maize is a critical period for agricultural production, and it is also the most serious period for sparrows and other birds to eat maize seedlings.
In the face of this challenge of "bird pest" prevention and control, we need to adhere to the principle of scientific prevention and control and comprehensive measures, and adopt a variety of "bird pest" prevention and control methods to prevent sparrows and other birds from eating corn seedlings. Only in this way can we ensure the healthy growth and development of corn and lay a solid foundation for a good harvest in the autumn.

Words written at the end:
In the future agricultural production, we should continue to explore new "bird pest" control technologies and methods to improve the control effect and reduce the cost of control.
At the same time, strengthen the awareness and technical training of "bird pest" prevention and control of neighbors and friends, so that more people can participate in the prevention and control of "bird pest". I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, we will be able to overcome the problem of sparrow eating and achieve sustainable and stable development of agricultural production.
